Damascus future Metro network is probably one of the solutions to realize the social, economic and technological development. This paper applies Flow Capturing Location Allocation Model (FCLM) to trace the optimal lines, localize the appropriate stations, and estimate the approximate cost. It suggests changes to Damascus directorate Initial line plans based on optimal stations localization criteria. Keywords: Transportation Management, Damascus Metro Network, Flow Capturing Location Allocation Model, Station Localization. |
